TENS of thousands of people descended on Myrtle Park in Bingley this weekend for a deluge of eclectic music, and even more varied weather.

The main stage of Bingley Music Live festival hosted 80s rock legends, chart topping DJs, and one of the UK’s top rappers over the course of three days.

Friday night saw Liverpool legends Echo and the Bunnymen light up the stage with a set that took in their biggest hits, including Lips Like Sugar and The Killing Moon.

Before them were fellow Liverpool band  Lightning Seeds, who made the most of the last bit of the days sun with chirpy classics like Life of Riley.

Tinie Tempah's headline set

Saturday saw heavy rain for much of the day, but most music lovers were undeterred, and their hardiness paid off as the rain finally ended early in the evening in time for the top acts.

Million selling, chart topping rapper Tinie Tempah proved more than capable of delivering a headline slot.

His hour-long set featured some of his biggest hits, including Pass Out and Mamacita.

The charismatic star easily won the crowd over, deeming them the best he had played to in 2016, adopting a Yorkshire accent to pronounce “Bingleh” and changing one of his most famous lyrics to “I’ve been to Bingley but I’ve never been to Scunthorpe.”

Sigma played their biggest hits during their energetic main stage set, which led to massive singalongs.

Other acts on Saturday were Peter Hook, the former New Order star, who played with his band The Light and Barenaked Ladies, who brought smiles to the festival with a set that mixed hits like One Week with on-stage humour, covers of hits by Rhianna and Justin Bieber and an appearance by Darth Vader.

The rain was banished on Sunday, when indie giants and former Glastonbury headliners Travis were lined up to close the festival with singalong anthems like Why Does It Always Rain on Me and Sing.

Before them, reformed girl group All Saints brought their late 90s hits to the stage, while We Are Scientists brought a more modern spin on indie music to Bingley.
